Additional info

Hi,

I have one client and one server. In both hosts I created an OS-user named User1.

The user have been given various role under the prefix SQLServer2005.

The default instance of SQL Server and instance (background-process) of

Analysis Service are also run under User1.

I connected via Management Studio to Analysis Service directly in the

server. I set the permission to access Analysis Service to Everyone.

This means everyone should be able to use Analysis Service. I have set

ODBC data source to the server. Testing was successful.

I created a project to create a cube. The tables are fairly small (total 300 MB, biggest one 290).

On project setting (created at client) I set the server host as

deployment target. I managed to deploy project when all I have are Data

Source and Data Source Views.

But on deployment I always failed. The errors remain the same, begins with

-

OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.; 08001.
I have tried 4 combinations of Impersonation :

(A) Use a specific username and password

* in which I supply User1 and the password of User1

(B) Use the service account

(C) Use the credentials of the current user

(D) Default

Why is this? The server does certainly exist. I think the error message is wrong.
I have seen 3 posting that seems related. One of them say the solution is giving the right impersonation, but gave no detail. About the privilege, User1 are granted the role of
SQLServer2005MSOLAP. What is the solution?

Thank you,

BernaridhoFor additional info,

I allowed remote connection to the SQL Server database-engine. I always managed to connect via Management Studio in the client to access the server. For ODBC data source I have tried two methods of authentication : Windows and SQL Server. The error remain the same.
In essence, I have played with 8 combination : two methods of authentication in ODBC data source, and 4 combination of impersenation in data source view. The errors are consistent.

Thank you,

Bernaridho|||I also encountered this error. I workaround by performing a remote connection to the server and create the Business Intelligence project directly on the server itself.|||Hi Sheah,

I'm not sure how often this error will occur. But trying other server, I don't have problem with one of previously failed try : impersonation using specific user. I supplied username User1 and its password as the credential for Data Source.

In my case, one of my server has the problem. Is it a bug or something I don't know but certainly the exact same setting on my two server machines give two different results : fail and success. Nevertheless, you may try setting the impersonation that uses specific username. I tried using OS-user (Windows-user), not SQL Server user. It worked.
